either the sound post isn't in the right place, or it's a very new violin. The more you play a violin, the less "tight" the wood sounds or for lack of better word... resonates more clearly. When i was learning to play i was introduced to a man named Elan Howe in Michigan. Very nice man, decent violinist and a very VeRy good violin maker. He had one interesting tool for loosening up the wood on the volin. Basically he modified a speaker to not resonate through the paper cone, but through a kind of metal tuning fork with a single alligator clip. He would clip it to the bridge of a violin and just play violin music through the speaker into the volin. Effectively using the violin as a resonant cavity. Very cool and ingenious thing to do.
Wonderful version of the tune. I believe I hear some contest fiddle licks in there such things as the shuffle bowing and hokum bowing that gets tossed in.
My favourite rendition on YT. I'm a beginner of 6 months using my Grandfather's old fiddle. I notice your bow hold is a bit ahead of the frog and that my Grandfather's bow that I use has a sort of rubber grip in that position ... and that i find it easier to ply it there for faster stuff. Was wondering if that's a legit pisition for fiddling or is the classic bow hold recommended?
@@meaghanmacneilfiddle thanks for that. i probably do need to go back to bowing basics because it's killing my shoulder so i must have a stiff wrist or something. i played electric guitar for 30 years but fiddle is much more challenging. p.s. beautiful, fluid playing. cheers
some of your notes sound a little flat. In terms of the instrument itself, the sound post needs to be adjusted. The e notes are incredibly hard, so i would suggest moving the sound post away from the e string a bit. other than that i think it's pretty decent...save for a slight squeek here and there hehe ^__^. happens to us all .
Hello just found your page. Sounds great. Are you using a dead string on some of the runs? I finally got the first 5 bars of Swallowtail jig. There allot of the but there so fast! How long have you been playing?
Really good! Great version
Thats a handsome fiddle...looks like a mid to late 19thc German Stainer copy....beautiful mid sound and a nice rich colour

The creator of this tune was our musician at feis's. Gerry Conlon was his name from Glasgow...I danced like a superstar to this !!
That is false. It's a well known fact that this tune was composed by Davey Arthur.
Sensacional 👏
